Universal Hub Bearing Claw Separator – Compact Wedge-Drive Design

Brief Overview

This is a compact, chrome-plated hub bearing removal tool designed for extracting bearings and similar press-fit components from wheels, hubs, and suspension assemblies. The tool features two opposing flat jaws that grip the bearing inner race, combined with a wedge-drive mechanism for controlled, progressive extraction. The recessed hex socket on the top and hexagonal drive nut on the rear enable versatile installation methods—either manually with a hex key or integrated into a puller assembly. It's an essential addition to any shop's bearing removal capability, particularly when paired with larger multi-piece bearing separator sets or a dedicated bearing puller kit for comprehensive coverage.

Key Features

• Claw Jaw Design: Two parallel flat jaws create a secure grip on bearing inner races and similar components
• Wedge-Drive Mechanism: Black hardened steel wedge provides controlled, progressive force distribution
• Dual Installation Options: Recessed hex socket (top) and hexagonal drive nut (rear) allow manual or powered extraction
• Chrome-Nickel Plating: Corrosion-resistant finish maintains durability in shop and field environments
• Compact Form Factor: Minimal envelope allows access to confined spaces around hubs and suspension components
• Precision Machining: Flat jaw contact surfaces and tight tolerances ensure accurate, repeatable bearing removal

Why This Tool Matters

Bearing removal is a high-frequency, high-skill task in automotive service. This compact claw separator excels at the critical moment—when the bearing must be extracted without damaging the hub flange or suspension mounting surface. The wedge-drive design distributes force progressively, reducing sudden shock and the risk of component damage. For shops that perform regular wheel bearing service, suspension overhauls, or hub assembly work, this tool is a workhorse investment.

Stock this tool confidently: It addresses a genuine need, pairs naturally with larger bearing removal systems, and positions your shop as capable of professional-grade suspension work.
